Cruise to Helsinki

I boarded a cruise ship from Stockholm to Helsinki last summer. The tickets are very cheap and Helsinki provides the perfect setting for a day trip to Finland. There are some interesting sights to visit such as the island of Suomenlinna, the rock church and the Sibelius monument. The white cathedral towers over the city dominating the skyline and offering a central meeting place. I also visited the market and bought some fresh peas as a snack that the locals seem to enjoy very much in the summer :)
